PyGTK: How do I make a custom widget look like a gtk.Notebook tab?

Question

Hi,

I'm writing a program and I need some extra functionality from the gtk.Notebook widget, so I have taken to creating my own.

My only problem is styling my tabs so that they look like the tabs in gtk.Notebook and will change according to the user's theme.

I really don't know where to start so any advice would be much appreciated, thanks :)

Answer 1

I also want to change the slec and unselect colour of tab but not getting any clue. Please help me to do that

Answer 2

I solved the problem eventually by getting the colours from gtk.Notebook's style.

Answer 3

Just for the record, if you are going to create something similar to a gtk.Notebook, I'll recomment you to subclass gtk.Notebook to save a lot of work.
